Thanksgiving 2006

The Boy and I did Thanksgiving, just the two of us, with ham, stuffing, yams and a chocolate cake for dessert. To keep things simple and not have to slave away all day in the kitchen, I made the stuffing and cake from a box (alright, so I've never made stuffing, and I can't bake!). The Boy took care of the ham, making a honey, molassas and pineapple dressing before popping it into the oven with foil wrapped yams. Paired with a nice bottle of riesling, Thanksgiving dinner was great!


Afterwards, we caught a movie at the local theater (Stranger Than Fiction). I liked it and thought that the story was clever, funny and entertaining, but the Boy was somewhat dissatisfied with it for unstated reasons.

We both had to go to work the next day, so that was it!

Both of us got off of work early the next day. We ran a couple of errands, and after a quick dinner of ham, stuffing, yams and chocolate cake again, we met up with the Boy's friend to see another movie - Casino Royale. The only problem was that it was sold out in every theater we went to. So, we ended up at Vespa, a local restaurant, to drink and talk. Vespa has a cute outdoor patio area in the back with heat lamps, so we chatted over a bottle of red and a cheese plate for the rest of the night.
